Lemon Tree is a folk song written by Will Holt in the 1960s.
The song has been recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary and The Seekers; in the 1960s, the tune was used in television advertisements for "Lemon Pledge," an aerosol furniture polish.
The song compares love to a lemon tree: "Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat."
